I suppose it's worth bearing in mind that the app will presumably continue to generate money for a long time to come for little to no work, whereas you will always have to do a day's work to get a day's consulting pay.

In my experience and in most of the reports I've read the "long tail" is pretty thin. Unless you're continuously updating and marketing your apps sales will trickle off. I'm sure some apps are an exception to this.
